Office for the Whole Country.
WASHINGTON, July 31st.-The weather
and crop bulletin of the Signal Office, for
the week ending July 30th, says Dur
ing the week the weather has been warmer
than usual. From the Southern, New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States westward
to the Rocky Mountains, the average daily
excess was about three degrees. During
the week there has been an excess OF rain
fall in the States bordering on the Atlantic
and in the east Gulf States and Minnesota,
Dakota and northern Nebraska. These ex-
cessive rains have been accompanied by
severe local storms, resulting in injury to
growing crops and retarding the harvest.
In the central valleys and lake region less
than the usual amount of rain occurred,
and drought continues in the corn belt, ex-
tending from Ohio westward to Iowa
and Kansas. During July the rainfall
was generally in excess in the States
on the Atlantic coast, throughout the
cotton belt, in the extreme Northwest, and
portions of the upper lake region. In all
sections there has been less than the usual
amount of rain during the month, and
probably less than one-half the usual
amount throughout the corn belt. Excess
sive heat and the absence of rain through
out the corn belt has affected this crop un-
favorably, and reports from Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana, and thence westward to
Kansas, indicate that the drought has un-
favorably affected the potato and corn
crops. In the Middle Atlantic and New
England States the weather has been un-
favorable to corn, but excessive rains have
injured the hay and oats. In Minnesota,
Dakota and Nebraska the weather has been
generally favorable to all crops, and har-
vesting is in progress as far north as the

Blake and Marsh was in the same tow, and
while in American waters the tug Oriole,
with Chicago detectives on board, steamed

line. After short conversation the
Blakes tow-line was let 60 but at the same
instant yawl left the schooner with Nc
Garigle and quickly rowed for the Canadian
side, landing at Point Edwards. McGarigle
at once drove to Courtright, twelve miles
down the river, ostensibly to catch boat.
He was, however, driven back, and is now
here. 1t is believed that he is nervous over
his safety in Canada, as he keeps away
from the river, apparently fearing attempts

TIRE SHIP RAILWAY.
Opinions of Men Who Believe in Fad,
Tehuantepec scheme

AthudHitpcC
New YORK, July 3Ist.-In connection
with the plans for the Tehauntepec ship
railroad, the annual meeting of the COM
pany occurred yesterday afternoon. Among
those now in New York is ex-Congressman
Alexander G.. Cochran, of st. Louis, coun-
sci to the company. Cochran was for a
long time counsel for Captain Eads, and be
claims that there is no doubt of the practi-
cability of the railroad. Cochran says that
nearly all the American merchant marine
consists of sailing vessels. If the railway
is used the American vessel would save
about 800 niles besides trip across the
Atlantic, and would avoid going into the
region of almost perpetual calms. This
would place the American clipper ship on
an equality with the British tramp
steamer, and give American merchants a
fair chance for the Asiatic trade.
On the other hand, with only the Pan
anna canal, American sailing vessels would
be subject to long-continued calms in each
ocean, and would have TO go some SOC
miles farther to the south. James An
drews, the Allegheny City millionaire
also interested in the scheme, and who was
also associated with Eads, estimates the nei
cost of the road at sixty millions on the
basis of capacity for carrying vessel OF
6,Gc0 tons. 1t is said to be probable that
10000, 900 of the bonds will soon be issued
for carrying on the work il the present
plans be adopted

AN EASY CATCH.
Customs Officers Make a Haul of Snug

San Francisco, July 31st.-[Special. i
When the bark Arcturus was signaled off
Fort Point this afternoon she was boarded
by Deputy Surveyor Fogarty and Inspec-
tors McDonough and McLif1ln. They
Immediately instituted a search for con-
traband opium, and their efforts were re-
warded by the discovery of quantity of
crude and prepared opium, most of which
was secreted in the bottom of two trunks.
Deputy FOgarty at once arrested the Cap
tain, James Sloan, and the bark was an
chored in the stream. Captain Sloan was
taken to the Central Police Station and
charged with smuggling. The value of the
opium is $2,700. The vessel is engaged in
the lumber trade between Puget Sound
and this port.
Captain Sloan says that everybody on
board the bark knew of the presence of
opium in the trunks, as they were open,
and the drug was plainly visible. The
trunks were shipped aboard at Port Town
send as freight from the Sound to this port,
and it was understood that some man here
was to call for them on the arrival of the
Arcturus.
The prisoner was released from custody
on filing cash bail in the sum of $500, fur
nished by a Harris.
